Re: Anthony Jansen Van Salee

I don't think Anthony Jansz van Salee was a pirate.His father was one, before becoming admiral of Sultan Zidan's fleet.Maybe the sultan was supporting piracy.Anthony van Salee and his descendants were the subject of a Frontline program on PBS you may want to get on the net at WWW2.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/secret/famous/vansallees.html According to the program, the van Salees have some illustrious descendants.Dont' know Greitje's parents, or Anthony's mom's name.
